I'd love to find out what other people are going to set up their first stealthy/assassin character as. Here's mine:

Race: Bosmer


Skills:
1h Blade (Dual Wielding Daggers)
Archery
Light Armor
Sneak
Lockpicking
Alchemy
Speech (maybe)

Any others??

Well you won't be able to get all the perks in that many trees, so I think it depends whether u want to be a thieves guild stealth character, a magic using stealth character, or a dark brotherhood stealth character, and perk accordingly.

Like if you want to spend more time stealing and being sneaky, then perk lockpicking/sneak/pickpocket/speech/lightarmor. If you like killing people more, then perk sneak/alchemy/archery/lightarmor/choice of other. If you want to magic while stealthing, then u need the silent magic perk in illusion etc.

How many skill trees can you get the perks for?
